Extractions: Back to table of contents An adult male complains of dull to severe scrotal pain developing over a period of hours to a day, and radiating to the ipsilateral lower abdomen or flank. There may be a history of recent urethritis, prostatitis or prostatectomy (allowing ingress to bacteria), straining with lifting a heavy obiect, or sexual activity with a full bladder (allowing reflux of urine). There may be fever, nausea, or urinary urgency or frequency. The epididymis, is tender, swollen, warm, and difficult to separate from the firm, nontender testicle. Increasing inflammation can extend up the spermatic cord and fill the entire scrotum, making examinations more difficult, as well as produce frank prostatitis or cystitis. The rectal exam therefore may reveal a very tender, boggy prostate. Ascertain that the testicle is normal in position and perfusion. Doppler ultrasound may help pick up a drop-off in arterial flow from spermatic cord to testicle in testicular torsion. Palpate and ausculate, the scrotum to rule out a hernia. Gently palpate the prostate once. Culture urine and/or any urethral discharge to identify a bacterial organism.
Extractions: The most common causes of this condition are infection by Chlamydia or Gonorrhoea and it represents a complication of infection from the urethra (and you might consider it the male equivalent to pelvic inflammatory disease ). If the infection involves the epididymis on both sides there is a (small) threat of sterility. The diagnosis is made by clinical examination by the doctor, feeling for tenderness around the epididymis and testicle. In conjunction with this, swabs are taken from the urethra for the routine testing of chlamydia and gonorrhoea. Treatment will often be started on the basis of the clinical examination alone as the infection swabs will take up to a week to process.

Extractions: From Our Sponsors Epididymitis (EP-ih-DID-ee-MY-tis) is an infection of the epididymis, a tube located behind the testicle. The infection is common in men 19 to 35 years old. The problem may start with an infection of the bladder or prostate gland. The infection is sometimes contracted through sexual contact. The usual symptoms are fever, pain, redness, and swelling of the scrotum and painful urination. You also may feel a lump in your scrotum. Your doctor will prescribe an antibiotic to fight the infection. Rest until you feel better, and follow the directions listed below. Rest in bed until fever, pain, and swelling go down. The testicle may stay swollen and hard for several days or even a few weeks. If your doctor prescribes an antibiotic to fight the infection, take it exactly as directed and finish the entire prescription. If you stop taking the drug too soon, a few germs may survive and re-infect you.

Disorders Of The Penis And Scrotum Topics [General] Disorders Of The Penis Disorders Of The Scrotum Genital Trauma Disorders Of The Scrotum (See also Complications under Mumps in Viral Infections in Ch. 265.) Scrotal disorders may be due to inflammation of the scrotal wall or contents, trauma (see below), neoplasms of the testis or testicular appendages (see Ch. 233 ), or mechanical abnormalities involving the scrotal contents or adjacent structures (see Testicular torsion under Renal and Genitourinary Defects in Ch. 261). Scrotal abscesses may complicate epididymo-orchitis (see under Epididymitis, below), especially when treatment is delayed. Some abscesses drain spontaneously, but most require surgery, usually orchiectomy with drainage. Urethral stricture and diverticulum may be accompanied by abscess formation with swelling of the scrotum, pain, and erythema and extravasation of urine into the scrotum and perineum. Incision and drainage as well as antibiotics are often indicated, but urinary diversion by suprapubic cystostomy is needed only in severe cases with abscess. Persistent strictures can usually be treated successfully by dilation or endoscopy (internal urethrotomy). In difficult or recurrent cases, a permanent stent may be placed endoscopically. Open surgery is occasionally indicated. Hydrocele

The disease has never been recorded in the United Kingdom, but has been reported from Australia, New Zealand, the United States of America, South Africa and parts of Europe. Prevalence is thought to be high in the Southern European states. Infected flocks may suffer considerable economic loss because of poor fertility. There are no records of human infection, and the disease is not classed as a zoonosis. Under natural conditions, Brucella ovis affects only sheep. Goats may be infected experimentally, but most laboratroy species are resistant.

Extractions: Feedback About statistics: This page presents a variety of statistics about Epididymitis. The term 'prevalence' of Epididymitis usually refers to the estimated population of people who are managing Epididymitis at any given time. The term 'incidence' of Epididymitis refers to the annual diagnosis rate, or the number of new cases of Epididymitis diagnosed each year. Hence, these two statistics types can differ: a short-lived disease like flu can have high annual incidence but low prevalence, but a life-long disease like diabetes has a low annual incidence but high prevalence.
